Aston Martin DBS Windshield Replacement & Auto Glass Service
The Right Glass for Your Aston Martin DBS
Introduced in 2007, the Aston Martin DBS was developed as a high-performance flagship that combined elements of the DB9 grand tourer with technology and inspiration from Aston Martin's race-bred DBR9.
Powered by a 6.0-liter V12, this generation of DBS was initially offered as a Coupe before Aston Martin added the open-top DBS Volante to the range. Production of both versions ended in 2012.
Those differences make accurate vehicle identification important when an Aston Martin DBS needs auto glass service. Model year, Coupe or Volante body configuration and vehicle equipment can all help determine the appropriate replacement glass.
Auto Glass Now provides Aston Martin DBS windshield repair and replacement, along with side window, door glass and rear auto glass replacement.
With more than 30 years in the auto glass industry and hundreds of locations nationwide, Auto Glass Now can help identify the appropriate glass and installation requirements for your Aston Martin DBS.
Why Aston Martin DBS Windshield Replacement Requires the Right Glass
Aston Martin produced the V12 DBS from 2007 through 2012, with both Coupe and Volante versions offered during the model's production run.
Because replacement windshield glass should be matched to the specific vehicle, identifying the model year and body configuration is an important first step before a windshield is ordered.
Providing your Aston Martin DBS VIN before service helps Auto Glass Now identify the vehicle and determine the appropriate replacement windshield.

Auto Glass Now installs Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) automotive glass. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) glass may also be available upon request when permitted by your insurance coverage.
Aston Martin DBS Windshield Replacement by Model and Configuration
The modern V12 DBS entered production in 2007 and remained Aston Martin's flagship through 2012.
While the DBS remained within a single model generation during that period, Coupe and Volante configurations create an important distinction when identifying the vehicle for windshield and other auto glass replacement.
2007–2012 Aston Martin DBS Coupe
Aston Martin unveiled the V12 DBS at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2007. The model was developed from the DB9 while incorporating more aggressive styling, lightweight carbon-fiber bodywork and performance technology influenced by Aston Martin's motorsports program.
The DBS Coupe was powered by a hand-built 6.0-liter V12 producing 510 bhp and was initially available with a six-speed manual transmission, with an automatic transmission offered later in production.
For auto glass service, identifying the exact model year helps Auto Glass Now determine the appropriate windshield and other replacement glass before installation.
2009–2012 Aston Martin DBS Volante
The DBS Volante entered production in 2009 as the first open-top DBS.
The convertible expanded the DBS range while retaining the V12 performance character of the Coupe. Its open-top body configuration also makes distinguishing a DBS Volante from a Coupe particularly important when side or other vehicle glass needs replacement.
Providing the VIN and identifying the vehicle as a DBS Volante helps Auto Glass Now determine the appropriate windshield and other replacement auto glass before service.
End of Aston Martin DBS Production
Production of the V12 DBS Coupe and DBS Volante ended in 2012 as Aston Martin introduced the Vanquish.
The DBS name later returned on the DBS Superleggera introduced in 2018. Although both vehicles carry the DBS name, the later DBS Superleggera belongs to an entirely different generation and should not be treated as interchangeable with the 2007–2012 DBS when replacement glass is selected.
Aston Martin DBS Coupe vs. DBS Volante Auto Glass
One of the most important distinctions for Aston Martin DBS auto glass service is whether the vehicle is a Coupe or Volante.
The DBS Coupe uses a fixed-roof body configuration, while the DBS Volante is the convertible version of the vehicle.
Those body styles create different window configurations, particularly when side and other auto glass is involved. Correctly identifying the vehicle before ordering replacement glass helps ensure the appropriate part is selected for the specific DBS.
Auto Glass Now can use the vehicle's VIN, model year and body configuration to help identify the appropriate windshield or other replacement auto glass.
Aston Martin DBS Side Window & Rear Auto Glass Replacement
Windshield damage isn't the only reason an Aston Martin DBS may need auto glass service.
Accidents, break-ins, road debris and other impacts can damage side windows, door glass or rear auto glass. Auto Glass Now provides replacement for Aston Martin DBS side and rear glass in addition to windshield service.
The appropriate replacement glass can depend on model year, glass position and whether the vehicle is a DBS Coupe or DBS Volante.
Side and rear glass damage can also require a different approach than windshield damage. While some windshield chips may be repairable, shattered side or rear glass generally requires replacement.
Auto Glass Now can identify the damaged glass, determine the appropriate replacement and professionally install the new glass.
Windshield Repair vs. Replacement for an Aston Martin DBS
Not every damaged Aston Martin DBS windshield needs to be replaced.
Windshield repair may be appropriate when damage is relatively small, contained and located where it can be safely repaired. Repair can preserve the existing windshield and help prevent the damage from spreading.
Windshield replacement may be recommended when:
The crack is large or continues spreading
Damage is too deep or extensive for safe repair
There are three or more chips
Damage affects an area where repair isn't appropriate
The windshield cannot otherwise be safely repaired
The age or configuration of a DBS doesn't automatically determine whether windshield damage can be repaired. The size, depth, location and overall condition of the damage still need to be evaluated.
Auto Glass Now offers free windshield inspections to help determine which option is appropriate for your DBS.

Aston Martin DBS Auto Glass FAQ
How much does it cost to replace an Aston Martin DBS windshield?
Aston Martin DBS windshield replacement cost varies based on model year, vehicle configuration, glass type, service location and insurance coverage.
Auto Glass Now can provide an estimate after identifying your vehicle and determining the appropriate replacement windshield.
Are all Aston Martin DBS windshields the same?
Replacement windshields should be identified for the specific vehicle rather than assuming every model carrying the DBS name uses interchangeable glass.
The 2007–2012 V12 DBS was offered in Coupe and Volante configurations, and Aston Martin later revived the DBS name for an entirely different generation. Providing the VIN allows Auto Glass Now to identify the specific vehicle before replacement glass is ordered.
What is the difference between DBS Coupe and DBS Volante auto glass?
The DBS Coupe uses a fixed-roof body configuration, while the DBS Volante is the open-top version of the vehicle.
Those body differences create different window configurations, making it important to identify whether a DBS is a Coupe or Volante when side or other auto glass needs replacement.
Can a cracked Aston Martin DBS windshield be repaired?
Possibly. Small, contained windshield damage may be repairable depending on its size, depth, location and overall condition.
Larger or spreading cracks, multiple areas of significant damage or damage that cannot be safely repaired may require windshield replacement. Auto Glass Now offers a free inspection to help determine the appropriate service.
When was the Aston Martin DBS produced?
The V12 Aston Martin DBS entered production in 2007. The DBS Volante followed in 2009, and production of both the Coupe and Volante ended in 2012.
The DBS name has also been used for other Aston Martin models, including the original DBS introduced in the 1960s and the later DBS Superleggera.
What is the difference between the Aston Martin DB9 and DBS?
The 2007–2012 DBS was developed from the DB9 but positioned as a more performance-focused flagship. Aston Martin gave the DBS more aggressive styling, carbon-fiber bodywork and a higher-output version of its V12 engine.
For auto glass replacement, the DB9 and DBS should be treated as separate models and replacement glass should be identified for the specific vehicle.
Is the 2007–2012 DBS the same as the DBS Superleggera?
No. The V12 DBS produced from 2007 through 2012 and the DBS Superleggera introduced in 2018 are different generations of Aston Martin's DBS flagship.
The vehicles should not be treated as interchangeable when selecting replacement windshields or other auto glass.
Was the Aston Martin DBS used in James Bond movies?
Yes. Before the production model arrived, the DBS appeared as James Bond's car in Casino Royale. The DBS subsequently appeared in Quantum of Solace.
The association became one of the best-known chapters in the history of the 2007–2012 DBS.
Will insurance cover Aston Martin DBS windshield replacement?
Comprehensive insurance may cover windshield replacement depending on the policy, deductible, provider and cause of the damage. Coverage may also apply to damaged side windows or rear auto glass depending on the policy and circumstances.
Auto Glass Now accepts all auto insurance and can help verify coverage and manage the claim.
Can Auto Glass Now replace an Aston Martin DBS windshield at my home?
Qualifying mobile windshield replacement may be available depending on your location, DBS configuration, required service and weather conditions.
